IMPROVED CALL-BELL AND VESSEL,

' s The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same ton,'in the county ot' Bristol and State ot Massachu- 1 sctts, have invented a new and improved Combined Call-Bell and Vessel; and I do hereby declare the following to he a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference heilig had to the accompanying drawing makinga part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional elevation, and

Figure 2 is a side elevation.

This invention relates to a vessel that may be used as a slop-howlA or sugar-howl, from the bottoml of which a tube projects upward .within the vessel, a stcm being placed within said tube, extending above its top, passing through the bottom ofthe vessel, and furnished with a finger-piece at its upper end, outside the tube, the sounder ota call-bell heilig attached to the bottom of the vessel, while its tongue is lullig between lugs that extend downward from the top ofthe sounder, in a position where it may be forced against the inside of the sounder by thrusting the said stem downward.

In the drawinga is the vessel, in the under side of which is a concavity, into which tits the sounder b ot a call-hell, said sounder heilig kept in place by a nut, d, that is screwed upon the outside ot' a threaded tube, c, that extends downward from the bottom of the vessel through an orifice in the top of the sounder.

f is the tube that extends upward from the bottom: inside. the vessel.

h is the stem that is placed within the tnbef, and extends downward through the tube e.

yi is a finger-disk on the top of' the stem h.

It are arms projecting radially in a horizontal direction from the top ot the tube j; which arms afford convenientbearings t'or the fingers in carrying the vessel about.

Z l are lugs, projecting downward from the nut d..

lm. is an elbow, hung between the lugs l, with one of its arms just below the bottom of the stem h.

a is the tongue ot' the bell, attached to the other arm of the elbow m.

On pushing the stein h downward it strikes the elbow m and drives the tongue n ont-ward against the sounder.

Having thus described my invention,

That I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

llie combination of vessel (t, tube f, stem h, and sounder b, as specified.
